Fandom Town Directory

Updated 03/2025

NOTE ABOUT FRIENDS FILTERS: Unfortunately, while Dreamwidth lets us use the admin console, they have no command for mass-assigning reading filter groups. So if you'd like your friends list sorted into students/teachers/townies/alumni/comm for easy reading of just one journal type, you'll have to do that manually after you've added all the journals, by using the Manage Subscription Filters page to create the groups and then sort your friends into them. This view of the Character Directory should help; it will display all characters sorted by group, then alphabetically by journal name.


Instructions for the Friending list:

1. Copy the list below the cut tag.

( Master Friending list )

2. Go to the Dreamwidth Administration Console.

3. Paste.

4. Click Execute.

6. PROFIT!!11!

No, seriously, that's it. All active journals will be added to your reading page (aka Friends Page) and be given access to your friendslocked posts. There's no limit on number of journals per day that can be added, unlike on Livejournal. (You'll see one error message related to your own journal name, saying that you can't grant access to yourself. Just ignore that; it won't affect the rest of the list.)

(Note: this post is about handling sensitive subjects on an OOC level. Please check out our post on the school's in-character rules and security for how to keep your student characters out of trouble -- or get them into it -- for drugs/alcohol/weapons/violence issues.)

Formerly known as Gender-Swap, before it hit us that gender is not and never has been what changes in this event.

The specifics on who does what, and when, vary from year to year, so be sure to read the announcement post for each event for that information.

In general, though, ( here's the way this works )

This is the tag formatting and usage for the three main in-character game communities, fandomtownies, fandomhighdorms and fandomhigh.
